AN-37: Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad

The perfect anime to review on this podcast; Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad also ranks a solid 8.29 on MyAnimeList and is considered one of the greatest anime of its genre. We fell in love with this anime mostly because the music is amazing but also because it is so unbelievably relatable for Emily and I. All the trials and tribulations of discovering a new passion, learning and developing a talent, forming a band, gigging with that band, and finding success all while coming of age. The only critiqu

What do you do when your very brief career as a Jedi Knight apprentice comes to a screeching halt cause the Empire wants to execute you? You turn your broken lightsaber into a microphone and start a fucking rock band!!This episode of Visions was truly a fun watch. Angsty teen dreams of rock-stardom and winning over the hearts of your adversaries with your music; needless to say, it was very relatable to our infamous podcast hosts and warmed their hearts with feelings of nostalgia.That being said

Just make sure you've got a healthy state of mind cause this show is brutal and freaky enough to send you spiraling into a bad trip.Okay, maybe we'll save the psychedelics for the OST.Dorohedoro translates to "mud-sludge" in english and the music unit that composed the score, (K)Now_NAME, did a phenomenal jo

Seriously, so many throw backs and memories from the mid 00's while listening to the audio that made up the first ~18 months of this iconic anime. Like Naruto, Bleach is a member of "The Big Three" and similarly is a bit hit or miss when it comes to the team's musical decision making. However, unlike Naruto, part 1 of Bleac

Finishing out this series (so far) in style with season 2 of Fire Force. We want answers for a lot of things; all the way from how the artists for the OP/ED’s get their inspiration to why this OST was kind of a "goat noise." We were not mad at this OST but we heard the first one, and we want to know where that spark went from returning composer, Kenichiro Suehiro. Aimer’s OP is by far our favorite from this season…why did season 1 get all the good themes!!?? More questions and less answers. We a

That's right, this week we are jamming out to Jujutsu Kaisen and serving up a saucy review of season 1's sonic sorcery.There was a lot of audio to unpack from this Anime --2 OPs, 2 EDs, and over 2.5 hours of an OST-- and we listened to

AN-31: Parasyte: The Maxim

The LAST ANIME REVIEW of the first ever season of the ANIME NOISE PODCAST. This week we breakdown the music from a super gory, very philosophical sci-fi thriller called Parasyte: The Maxim. This ""Netflix original"" is based off the award winning 80's manga Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki. Rumors claim that the main character, Migi, could have been inspired by a real life medical condition called "Alien Hand Syndrome" where the sufferer has a hand that acts on its own without the person's control.

This week we dove REAL hard into the gory, Halloween vibes with this very bloody and freaky anime! The OST is nothing short of true horror although we don't think the OP and ED matched what everything else put down.We apologize in advance for the lightning. However, with a little bit of tinkering on Garrett's end, we made it work. It's the least he could do after being so afraid of the lightning. :) Hehe If you haven't seen Another yet, please give this anime some love this October because it is

Thank you all for requesting this one, especially @gabrielcolon22. I know we took our sweet time getting to it, but I'm glad we waited because...This anime deserves ALL THE HYPE!! Not only does it open (and close the season finale) with one of the most iconic songs in anime history, the OST as a stand alone album took us completely by surprise and quite honestly has helped us in standardizing an actual grading scale for all the OSTs we've listened to so far.

This week we are reviewing High School of the Dead!! An absolutely perfect segue out of our extra ecchi escapades and into the horror filled happenings of Halloween!This series is a roller coaster of ups and downs. From Takashi's tent in his pants constantly getting ruined by zombie attacks to the awesome OP and album of ED's, but a "D" grade soundtrack, AND we got to witness a super kick ass first season, but the story might be forever left unfinished due to Sato, the author of the manga, tragi

We only had two tiny critiques which were hardly a big deal and probably just Garrett's nit-picky ass opinion. We also, got to talk about a new ani-band called Aimer!

Seriously, people should study this in sound design school. It's unique, it's creative, it's world-building, and it's used to enhance the music in the OST!The soundtrack was done very well and, although it only earned a B as a stand alone album, we realized just how versatile the composer can be and

And god damn are we happy we did!!The animation is phenomenal, the music is so much better and it follows the manga a bit better in my opinion.

Oh and the OST? God tier, baby. Garrett even said, "of all the OST's we've done so far, this has become his favorite." There's some serious weight behind that statement. He's a

A surprisingly entertaining anime with A BOMB of an OP, a great ED, and kind of a lack-luster OST. It honestly had a few awesome pieces, but most of it sounded pretty generic, monotonous and honestly they really over used the bandoneon. Either way, you should definitely watch the anime even though there probably won't be a season 2.Just a heads up, we do spoil the manga ending at the end of the episode, but there is plenty of warning if you plan on reading it and want the surprise.Oh yeah, here'

Season 2 has caused quite the controversy in the anime world, a pretty dumb controversy since the debate is only about which season was better. We can answer that right now for you, they're both great as fuck. Both seasons have aspects that are better than the other, but whatever category you're comparing them in, the differences are within a few points. The one thing that is inarguable: the OSTs are fucking FIRE! And Saitama actually sings the ender!We had so much fun listening to this OST and
